Lutz - Quelques remarques historiques et prospectives sur la g\u00e9om\u00e9trie de contact - Conference on Differential Geometry and Topology (Sardinia, 1988))<\/pre>\n
Since then, Contact Geometry essentially split off into two quite separate branches:\u00a0Contact Riemannian Geometry<\/em> and Contact Topology.<\/em><\/p>\n
The conference\/school RIEMain in Contact<\/em><\/span> is the first occasion for the two souls of contact geometry to interact. To our knowledge it is also the first Italian workshop covering topics of Contact Topology.<\/p>\n
The conference consists of two mini-courses addressed to young researchers and PhD students , and sixteen talks.<\/p>\n
The main topics will be Contact Riemannian Geometry and Contact Topology,<\/em> \u00a0but also related structures like Engel Structures, K\u00e4hler Geometry, CR structures, Lie Groups \u00a0and Statistical Manifolds, will be treated.<\/p>\n
Young researchers will have the opportunity to present a poster.<\/p>\n
